The Jungfrau Marathon in Interlaken, Switzerland made a great location for the 9th WMRA World Long Distance Mountain Running Challenge. 6,317 runners finished the 20th edition of the historic event (a record number of participants) and over the entire route a reported 50,000 people watched this unique race. With all of these attributes and when you add in the altitude gain of over 1,829 meters (6,000’), this event is regarded as Europe’s toughest mountain marathon. The weekend’s racing was split into two days, with the ladies running on the Saturday and the men on the Sunday, with both undertaking the same route. It was Saturday’s women’s race which provided the USA with plenty to cheer about, as took the World title in 3:22:42, the fastest time for almost 10 years. Though not part of the USA team, Kremer saw some impressive Team US performances which led to team gold, led by Kim Dobson in third place. Individual Silver medal went to ’s Sabine Reiner. The 2011 Jungfrau winner Markus Hohenwarter (Austria) took it on in the men’s race as the runners hit the mountain and held the lead to win in 2:59:42, with 2011 WLDMRC Champion Mitja Kosovelj (Slovenia) absolutely storming through the field to take silver. Kenya’s Hosea Tuei took the bronze with Switzerland winning the team title. Full results on results page of www.wmra.org

The 7th staging of the WMRA International Youth Cup was held in Glendalough Ireland, the course set against a backdrop of the Upper Lake .This was the fi rst occasion that Ireland had hosted a major international mountain running event and it represented a further stage in the development of mountain running for this younger age group (16-17 year olds). Nine countries entered the competition with Ireland, Russia, and Wales fi elding two boys’ teams and Ireland and Russia entering two girls’ teams. Over breakfast on Sunday, the sun emerged and with it a day of fi ne weather for the runners and spectators. The girls had a short run-in of 110 metres followed by two laps of 1660m each for a total distance of 3540m with 190 metres of ascent. At the end of the fi rst lap Ksenia Makhneva (RUS) led by around 10 metres from Sarah Hodgson (ENG) and Clare McCarthy (IRE). Caitriona Graves (SCO) was in fourth followed by Sara Jesenko (SLO), Chiara Spagnoli (ITA), Alina Subbotina (RUS B), and Weronika Pyzik (POL). The pace was fast and was likely to bring the steepish climb into play on the last lap for anyone who started too fast. Emerging into the fi nishing run-in Pyzik had moved through from eight into the lead with Hodgson and Makhneva on her heels. Despite a fi erce battle up the home straight Pyzik held on for a narrow win from Hodgson with Makhneva two seconds behind the winner. With the calculations done the host country had won by eight points from Italy (37) and Russia (37). The boys’ race had three laps covering a total of 5200 metres. The 2011 silver medallist Konstantin Galiullin (RUS) was the favourite but in this age group there are many unknown athletes in the shadows. Six runners were bunched together at the end of the fi rst lap with Galiullin leading from Nadir Cavagna (ITA), Yemanebehran Crippa (ITA), Gwynant Jones (WAL), Patryk Lachowski (POL), and Andrew Lawler (SCO). The fi rst Irish runner Killian Mooney was ten metres back after recovering quickly from a fall on the fi rst lap. At the end of lap two, the race was down to two runners as Crippa and Galiullin had gone clear and were still looking like they had kept something for the last Italy Team boys: gold medal lap. James Hall (ENG) had worked his way through from ninth to third, Photo by Gerry Brady ahead of Cavagna, and ominously the third Italian runner, Danilo Gritti, had moved through from tenth to fi fth. The places remained largely unchanged on the fi nal lap except for Crippa opening a clear winning margin of 21 seconds from Galiullin and Cavagna. The Italian runners were convincing winners of the team title with an exceptionally strong performance. Bruno Gozzelino, John Foley (Chief Executive of Athletics Ireland), the WMRA technical delegate Bashir Hussain, and the President of the Irish Mountain Running Association Dermot Murphy helped by WMRA Council members Raimondo Balicco and Tomo Sarf presented the individual and team trophies. Six of the nine nations stood on the podium after a closely contested competition. Ireland Team girls: gold medal Photo by Gerry Brady
